Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Lots of this with Nod. Many Nod fans for some reason consider Nod to be benevolent freedom fighters despite all of the atrocities they commit in each of their appearances. A fair amount of arguments also surround the [[
** {{spoiler|It turns out the Nod fans were right, the conclusion of 4 states that all Nod members vanished from Earth after he activated Threshold 19.}}
** By the end of ''Tiberian Twilight'', Kane is revealed as having more-or-less made [[Indy Ploy|many things up as he went along]]. In the first two games, he tried to take over the world. In the third his main purpose was to gain the Tacitus and the Scrin Threshold. In the last game, having seen (''twice'') that fighting GDI is futile, he allies with them, because what he ''really'' needed all along was {{spoiler|access to the resources to build a power source for the Tower (the TCN) and a key to unlock it (the Tacitus). Supposedly, after having conquered the world in either of the first two games, he intended to bring the Scrin to Earth, steal a Tower, build a TCN and Ascend}}... [[Magnificent Bastard|which is, you know]], ''precisely'' [[Xanatos Gambit|what happened in the end]].
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: An early trailer for ''C&C 3'' ended with confirmation that yes, Joseph Kucan is Kane once again. That confirmation was from a television reporting Kane's death being switched off...''by Kane.''
* [[Broken Base]]: There's always been contention over whether the games made since EA acquired Westwood were any good, though both factions have come together to decry ''Tiberian Twilight''.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: [[Command
* [[Demonic Spiders]]: ''Renegade'' is a game best described as consisting of almost nothing ''but'' these. The only mooks who aren't incredibly dangerous, heavily-armored soldiers who can kill you in seconds are the basic Nod infantry (who disappear after the fourth mission), the technicians, and the engineers.
* [[Fan Dumb]]: The official forums got so bad that the mods in charge had to have a crackdown on the [[Flame War|flame wars]], modem-killing images, and scat.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: The venerable Mammoth Tank is a "Mammy," while the boxy subterranean Flame Tank from ''Tiberian Sun'' is the "BURROWING SHOEBOX OF HORRIBLE BURNING DEATH."
* [[Fanon Discontinuity]]: Fans still debate a number of issues, notably which ending of the first ''[[Command
** In addition, most fans consider most (if not all) of the "Tiberium Wars" novelization non-canon.
* [[Game Breaker]]: Mammoth Tanks, the Commando & Transport Chopper combo, ''Tiberian Sun'''s Artillery and Subterranean APCs, Rocket Launchers...
** ''Tiberian Sun'''s Artillery is especially bad, mostly because of how accurate they are against moving targets. Even the strongest armored units in the game, including the Mammoth Mk.2, will be torn to pieces by just a few Artillery. They effectively obsolete the Obelisk of Light in terms of ground defense, since in addition to greater range and lower price, they require no power and will pulverize groups of infantry, unlike the Obelisk. For balance purposes, they were [[Nerf|nerfed]] in ''Firestorm''.
Line 21:
** [[Body Horror|Tiberium contamination effects in human bodies]].
** [[Nightmare Face|Kane's half face]] hidden by a mask in ''Tiberian Sun''.
** The development of cyborg technology and [[Was Once a Man|its failed results]], [[Body Horror|their
*** The Cyborg Reaper from Firestorm travels on four insect-like legs and attacks by trapping infantry in a net and proceeding to pummel them to death with missles. Comes complete with a creepy computer voice and a skull like face.
* [[Retroactive Recognition]]: If you don't recognize Grace Park, who plays Sandra Telfair, from ''[[Battlestar Galactica
* [[Rooting for
* [[Ruined FOREVER]]: The fandom was ''not'' happy about ''[[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|Tiberium Twilight]]'' abandoning some of the series' signature elements, and the [[Digital Piracy Is Evil|DRM]] didn't help. Critics were slightly nicer, though concluded that it was still a disappointing way to end such a beloved franchise.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: ''C&C 4'' features no base building, no resource gathering, no sidebar, no Scrin, and a population cap, so it's kinda understandable why long-time fans are upset.
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]: ''Tiberium Wars'' ended with the Scrin planning on sending a real invasion to earth, but EA decided to just drop the whole plot for ''Tiberium Twilight'' -- which itself ends on [[Gainax Ending|a rather confusing note]].
* [[Villain Decay]]: Kane. The later games in the series make it questionable if he even is a villain... and his obviously evil actions in previous games backfire on him several times.
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Colonel Louise James in ''Tiberian Twilight''. Seriously, can you really blame her for starting the GDI Civil War? How would you act if you lost your children in a war that puts World War II to shame and then your superiors allies with the guy, who not only isn't responsible to her childrens' death but also the death of millions, who started it? Wouldn't you go all [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] on his ass as well?
** Kane at the end of ''Tiberian Twilight''. The guy was stuck on Earth for thousands of years and just wanted to go home.
